Birthday Bear is one of the ten original Care Bears who first appeared on American Greetings cards in late 1982.

He has golden yellow fur and his Belly badge depicts a pink cupcake with a single candle.

Birthday Bear loves birthdays, and he loves to party. This much is very clear.

If it's your birthday, even if you're alone, you can bet Birthday Bear's gonna be your best friend for the next 24 hours or so, and he'll even bring the favors. He's like an instant celebration - just add you.
